We don't know how housing restrictions, if any, will work. My wild speculation is that they'll be related to Grand Company affiliation.
What I can tell you with certainty, though, is that you can join any Grand Company you want when you get to that part of the main scenario quest -- so you can start in Gridania, but throw your lot in with the Maelstrom. You can also join any Free Company, regardless of its Grand Company affiliation. And, of course, you can set your home point wherever you like.
So, I guess I'd suggest not worrying about it right now.
